About This Workshop

The last decade has seen blockchain technology grow from an anarchic financial experiment to a global engine for organizational and societal revolution.

During this online workshop, we will chart the path from pre-Bitcoin computer science breakthroughs to Bitcoin and the rise of alternative currencies that challenge the way we think about money, through Ethereum and the rise of smart contracts, arriving at the present day explosion of tokens, enterprise networks, and decentralized applications.

Topics we will cover:

Explore the history of digital cash and blockchain technology

Explain the technology that make blockchains possible

Examine exciting new decentralized applications that use blockchain technology to change the world.

Whether you are a developer building for the future of the Internet or a curious enthusiast making sense of the hype, this session will help you understand why blockchain technology just might be the next great coordinating tool for humanity.

This class is designed for anyone without prior knowledge of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology.

About the Instructor

Emre is a software developer and working as a consultant for ArtToken, an early stage blockchain startup. After being introduced to Ethereum by his co-worker in late 2016, he has spent most of his time learning and researching about blockchain technologies. To better understand the technology and share his growing knowledge, he decided to teach the basics to the interested co-workers, friends, and family. Based on the positive feedback he received from them, he designed an Introductory Course to Blockchain Technologies. Having quickly realized the imperative and inevitable role of blockchain in advancing specific technologies, Emre decided to switch his focus from web development to helping companies build blockchain applications.
